It didn't take long, but within a quarter of an hour, someone came to report: "Ninth Master, the Soul Controller has arrived."
Xin Yuheng's eyes flashed, so fast?
Is this Soul Controller near Beidou Temple, or did he also hear the news of Shen Lian's appearance and come to find him?
Xin Yuheng's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Let him come in."
Soon, a man wrapped in a black robe and a fierce mask on his face walked in.
After seeing Xin Yuheng, the man slightly cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Nine Masters."
Yuhunshi is the person in charge of Beidou Society's governance of Nanzhao.
The Star Masters of the Beidou Society are important members of the Beidou Society and are responsible for many affairs in various countries.
Therefore, the level of the Soul Controller is one level lower than that of the Star Master.
But this is only superficially inferior.
But all Xingchen people know that Yuhunshi is Beichen's retainer. As the so-called third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, no one really treats Yuhunshi as a servant.
Xin Yuheng waved his hand and went straight to the point, saying: "This guy Shen Lian has appeared."
The Soul Controller nodded: "I heard the news on the way here."
Xin Yuheng continued: "I have sent people to seal off the area where he is, and I will try my best to capture him."
"But you should know how cunning Shen Lian is. I'm worried that this won't be enough to catch him, so I need your help. At the same time, I know that Beichen should have some back-ups, and I hope that Beichen can also take action."
"It's rare to find Shen Lian. If this guy Shen Lian escapes, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. It will not be easy to find such an opportunity in the future."
"So, I hope you can all do your best. The three of us will work together to make it impossible for Shen Lian to leave Dali City alive!"
The Soul Controller nodded slightly when he heard Xin Yuheng's words.
He said: "Master Yu Heng's suggestion is good. Shen Lian is really too cunning. With Shen Lian's cunning, no matter how cautious we are, we cannot be too cautious."
He looked at Xin Yuheng and said, "I will report it to Beichen, but I'm not sure what Beichen will do."
Xin Yuheng said calmly: "You only need to inform Beichen of the news of Qin Wenyuan's appearance and what I want Beichen to do. I believe Beichen will make the most appropriate decision."
The Soul Controller nodded slightly: "Okay."
He added: "Master Heng, do you think Shen Lian's sudden appearance this time is a coincidence or something?"
A light flashed slightly deep in Xin Yuheng's eyes.
But soon, her blue eyes that were like ice were covered up.
She said calmly: "I'm not sure."
"The place where Shen Lian was exposed is the place that we have already searched. Although Shen Lian will be hiding in the place that we have searched, but we have not found it, I don't think this is anything to make a fuss about. If we can find Shen Lian through a search, then Shen Lian will no longer be Shen Lian."
"So I'm not surprised that Shen Lian appears there."
"The only thing that surprised me was that he would be discovered. This really made me wonder, so I was wondering whether Shen Lian's exposure was due to Shen Lian's carelessness and being discovered, or..."
Xin Yuheng narrowed his eyes and said, "This is Shen Lian's trick."
"oh?"
The Yuhun envoy looked at Xin Yuheng with some surprise and asked: "Why does Master Heng have such a guess?"
Xin Yuheng said calmly: "You know, Shen Lian is a person who has suffered several losses even from Beichen."
"And this person was still in front of Beichen and left in a swaggering manner."
"This all shows this person's cunning and ability, so do you think it's normal for someone who even Beichen can't do anything about to suddenly find his traces?"
"Of course, no one is perfect in this world, and horses may stumble, but it cannot be ruled out that Shen Lian's exposure this time has elements of conspiracy."
"So, I'm worried that this may be Qin Wenyuan's trick."
The Soul Controller nodded thoughtfully and said, "Master Heng's analysis is correct. If this is Shen Lian's trick, there will be some trouble."
"What's the trouble?"
Xin Yuheng said very calmly: "Even if this is Shen Lian's trick, this is our territory."
"He Shen Lian, even if he has some helpers, how many will he have?"
"As long as we have strength that far exceeds his, then what will happen even if he has some conspiracy?"
"In this world, the most feared thing among conspirators and conspirators is impeccable strength."
"So, I don't think there's anything scary about Shen Lian. On the contrary, I think if he took the initiative to expose this, then he is really stupid. He has no idea how much he will be hunted down once he is exposed! "
…
"This kind of pursuit is an absolute crushing in terms of strength, not something that can be matched by a little cleverness."
After listening to Xin Yuheng's words, the Yuhun envoy couldn't help but clapped his hands in praise.
He said: "Sir Heng has seen clearly. I understand. I will convey what Mr. Heng said to Beichen."
"Then do you have any other instructions, Master Heng?"
Xin Yuheng shook his head and said: "If Beichen wants to take action, do it as soon as possible and don't let Shen Lian escape. I have already ordered people to block all the entrances and exits in that area, but I am not sure how long it can be blocked."
"Okay, I'll go find Beichen right now."
The Soul Controller didn't waste any time, he turned around and left, quickly disappearing from Xin Yuheng's sight.
After the Soul Controller disappeared, Xin Yuheng let out a long breath.
She was reviewing her performance just now to see if there were any omissions.
After a while, she was completely relieved.
There was nothing wrong with her performance. No matter how picky Beichen was, he couldn't find any faults.
But Shen Lian...
Xin Yuheng whispered to himself: "Next, you really have to face a dragnet, and you must escape..."
At this time, the sky gradually became brighter.
A rising sun suddenly rises in the east.
It lights up the entire city of Dali.
It also illuminates the new jade scale at the window.
The Yuhunshi quickly left Beidou Temple.
Wearing a black robe, he looked like a messenger in the dark night, walking across the road at extremely fast speeds.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But at this moment, the sky has brightened up and the sun is warming, so his black robe is very obvious.
But at this time, the entire city of Dali was closed, and people were not allowed to go out, so the Yuhunshi was as obvious as an ink dot on a piece of white paper, and no one noticed it.
Not long after, the Yuhun Envoy stopped in front of a mansion.
He didn't knock on the door, but climbed over the wall and entered.
After entering the mansion, he quickly entered the study room, then turned the vase in front of the bookshelf and heard a clicking sound.
The bookshelf immediately stretched out to both sides, and the Soul Controller quickly entered the secret passage behind the bookshelf without any hesitation.
Not long after, he came to a stone door, and then the Soul Controller stopped and said: "Beichen."
Behind the stone door, an old voice slowly came: "Come in."
The Soul Controller opened the door and walked in.
Then I saw a stone room behind the door.
The stone chamber is not narrow and depressing, but rather spacious.
The old man Qin Wenyuan saw before was sitting in front of the stone table, drinking tea and reading a book, very leisurely.
Seeing the soul master arriving, he asked calmly: "Is there Shen Lian? Is there any news about him?"
There was no surprise for Yuhunzhao. In his heart, Beichen was an omnipotent and omniscient god.
He nodded: "Shen Lian appeared in the south area of the city. We have searched there, but he still appears there."
Beichen picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "If Shen Lian can be found through a search, then Shen Lian will not make me care so much."
"It was within my expectation that he would appear there."
The Soul Controller nodded: "Beichen's strategy is still unparalleled."
Beichen smiled lightly and didn't care about the flattery.
He continued to ask: "How did Xin Yuheng handle it after discovering Shen Lian?"
The Yuhun Envoy said: "Xin Yuheng took the lead in ordering half of the troops in other areas to rush to the south area of the city immediately to help capture Shen Lian."
"And she also asked at least ten people to guard each intersection to prevent Shen Lian from quickly killing people and escaping."
"And she is also worried that it is not Shen Lian who appears this time, but someone deliberately attracting attention for Shen Lian, so the remaining people in other areas are still searching normally."
Beichen nodded slightly: "Handle it properly, give the order just right, and be very safe. This way, no matter what Shen Lian's tricks are, he can follow them in the safest way."
The Yuhun Envoy continued: "However, Xin Yuheng still has some thoughts about Shen Lian's exposure. She doesn't know whether Shen Lian was really accidentally exposed this time, or if Shen Lian has some conspiracy, so she hopes that we can also take full action. Don't let Shen Lian escape. Once Qin Wenyuan escapes, she said we may not have a chance to find Shen Lian again next time."
Beichen put down the teacup at this time and moved his eyes from the book.
Said: "Xin Yuheng is indeed thoughtful. With Shen Lian's ability, I don't think he can be exposed so easily. Moreover, we have also searched the place. We don't have many people left, so this can still be discovered. There may indeed be a problem..."
The Yuhun Envoy looked at Beichen and said, "Then do you still suspect that Xin Yuheng may have different intentions?"
Beichen smiled: "I promoted Xin Yuheng, and I already trust her. However, when Shen Lian appeared in Beidou Temple before, Xin Yuheng instead reused Shen Lian's disguise, which made me a little suspicious."
"But now that Xin Yuheng can think of everything, she can prove that she has nothing to do with Shen Lian. Otherwise, she will only help Shen Lian cover up and not think so thoughtfully."
The Soul Controller nodded: "My subordinates feel the same way."
"okay."
Beichen let out a breath and said, "Since Shen Lian has appeared, no matter what tricks he has, we must take action."
"And this is our territory. Just like I suffered a loss in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty before, cunning tricks are of no use in the face of absolutely crushing strength."
"So, take your people and go after Shen Lian. In addition, arrange for some people to come and deliver news to me every half-quarter of an hour. I need to know the situation there so that I can make timely adjustments."
Hearing this, the Yuhun envoy said directly without any hesitation: "Yes!"
After saying this, he quickly turned around and left.
Beichen watched the stone door slowly close, and a meaningful light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Shen Lian, Shen Lian, you took the initiative to expose...what is your purpose?"
That's right, Beichen didn't think that Shen Lian's exposure was an accident at all.
He knows Shen Lian very well. He knows better than anyone how difficult Shen Lian is.
So in Beichen's opinion, Shen Lian would never make such a mistake.
Then, Shen Lian was suddenly exposed at this time. Beichen believed that this was definitely Shen Lian's intention.
Therefore, Shen Lian must have another trick up his sleeve.
But Beichen still couldn't guess what Shen Lian wanted to do.
But Beichen knew that by exposing Shen Lian, he must have hoped to attract most of the attention here. In this case, Beichen would satisfy Shen Lian.
"I'll give you whatever you want."
"I want to see what other tricks you can come up with on my home court!"
Beichen chuckled lightly, and the smile on his face deepened.
Shen Lian had a plan, why didn't he?
This time, he invited Shen Lian.
And he also knew very well what Shen Lian's goal was.
In this case, Beichen is not afraid of Shen Lian's tricks.
Anyway, the final result will not change.
Beichen suddenly looked at the chessboard on the stone table. He picked up a chess piece and slapped it onto the chessboard.
He chuckled lightly and said: "Shen Lian, Shen Lian, the real game has officially begun."
"I'm waiting for you here."
…………
Dali City, south area.
At this moment, in the southern area of the city, the streets are full of people.
There are people from the city lord's palace.
A Taoist with Beidou Temple.
There are also soul envoys wearing the same clothes as Shen Lian and others.
These people blocked every intersection and searched house to house very carefully.
Shen Lian and Si She followed the large troops in the search. He looked at the people on the street and couldn't help but sigh: "It's dawn, and Tianji's most natural protection has disappeared. In the next day, I guess she will It will be very difficult.”
Shen Lian looked at Si She and said, "Do you think that when Tian Ji gets old, will she be grateful to me for creating such an ups and downs experience for her through these great years?"
Si She: "...Master, do you want to hear the truth?"
Shen Lian laughed and said, "I don't want to."
Si She: "...She will be grateful to the young master."
Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction and said, "I think so too."
Sishe felt that Tianji would be angry and cry after hearing what the young master said.
What does it mean to be good even if you are cheap? He felt that the young master vividly interpreted this old saying for him.
Sishe looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them. He asked in a low voice: "Master, what should we do next?"
Shen Lian smiled and said, "What should I do?"
"Are we just pretending to be soul envoys?"
Sishe asked in confusion: "What's the significance of this?"
Shen Lian smiled softly: "Of course it has meaning. On the one hand, it allows us to know the information everywhere in time, so that we will not become blind and deaf."
"On the other hand..."
The corners of Shen Lian's lips raised slightly: "It's because I'm waiting for someone to arrive."
